Because the Night (Live on MTV Unplugged)

[Verse 1]

Take me now, baby, here as I am

Hold me close, and try and understand

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

[Pre-Chorus]

Come on now, try and understand

The way I feel under your command

Take my hand, as the sun descends

They can't hurt you now

Can't hurt you now

Can't hurt you now

[Chorus]

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

[Verse 2]

Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone

Love is a ring, a telephone

Love is an angel disguised as lust

Here in our bed 'til the morning comes

[Pre-Chorus]

Come on now, try and understand

The way I feel under your command

Take my hand, as the sun descends

They can't hurt you now

Can't hurt you now

Can't hurt you now

[Chorus]

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

[Bridge]

With love we sleep, with doubt the vicious cycle turns, and burns

Without you oh I cannot live, forgive the yearning Burning

I believe it's time, too real to feel

So take me now, take me now, take me now

[Chorus]

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

And everybody says that it belongs to us
